Abstract
Simulated meter disk rotation is provided in an electronic power meter which does not include a meter disk to enable meter timing and testing to be accomplished in the same visual manner as the use of the disk in an electro-mechanical power meter. The existing segmented character display is used to provide a simulated gap in which horizontal display segments move and appear to wrap around the rear of the meter.
